methods were utilized toanalyze the data and report on the findings. Quantitative data analysis was conducted using SPSS(Software Package for Social Sciences). This study makes use of a variety of statistical tools in order to reach its conclusion, about95% confidence intervals were produced using hypothesis testing; Wilcoxon signed rank test andMann Whitney U test for non-parametric data to determine skills satisfaction gaps between preand post participation and skills and knowledge satisfaction as self-reported by the students afterhaving such experience. Reliability was demonstrated using Cronbach`s alpha in order to determine the internalconsistencies of the used satisfaction scales, Cronbach alpha values above 0.9 indicate
. Thispaper has presented a pilot effort to increase the supply of mentors to existing Youth ServingOrganizations. The paper presented levels for mentor commitment and intensity. Furthermore, itdefined a progression we all experience when individuals begin something new and laid out thesimple steps it takes to go from being a basic STEM volunteer making a small, but importantimpact on a child to becoming a mentor that is highly committed to high intensity mentoring andmaking a deep and lasting impact on a child.References[1] D.

well known in academia.Housner and his students [3] at Cal Tech in the 1940’s and 1950’s experimentally determined thecritical load of a member by means of linearly correlating the square of the frequency and theload; the extrapolated regression line at zero frequency represents the critical buckling load ofthe member. On the theoretical side, the most acknowledged achievements are traced back toTimeshenko [4] who used differential equations to show that as the loading of a columnapproached Euler buckling, the frequency of the first mode approaches zero. Recently Carpinteri[5] presented a solution using potential energy that is well-tailored to student understanding. Hisderivation uses a single degree-of-freedom system similar to that shown in
fellows will likely teach undergraduate andgraduate courses. An understanding of reform-based practices could empower fellows to bethoughtful about selecting appropriate learning opportunities in their own practice. The findingspresent an opportunity for institution leaders to consider implementing strategies favorable topre-faculty development. Secondly, science educators, untrained in the field of engineering, arebaffled by the addition of the engineering practices contained within the U. S. Next GenerationScience Standards (NGSS).6 Knowledge of how engineers execute engineering design taskscould inform the application of engineering activities at the K-12 level.Faculty Teaching PracticesUniversity science, mathematics, and engineering faculty

May 2015. This is the firstcoastal or ocean engineering graduate program at an Historic Black College or University(HBCU). Students may choose a thesis, project or course only option. All options require anoral examination. Seven core courses, one mandatory, comprise the coastal engineeringconcentration. The student may select elective courses from among a large variety of civil andenvironmental engineering graduate courses. This flexibility enables the graduate student totailor coursework to their major civil engineering area(s) of career interest. Laboratory facilitiespotentially available to students are briefly described. The program has a coastal natural disasterfocus and was established as part of the Coastal Hazards Center of

the Civil War, shortly after the land-grant legislation was enacted, when the historically blackcollege system was established. The intentional choices made by Tuskegee and Howard collegesto offer classical humanities educational programs versus applied programs was done with theintent of providing a higher-intellectual set of opportunities for their graduates, in effect allowingthem to become doctors and lawyers and teachers as opposed to applied technologists (Carney).The comparable choice for tribally controlled colleges, currently being decided eitherintentionally or not, is the focus of this paper.The tribal college movement, largely born in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s, served twoimmediate demands on their respective reservations

other words, whatwill be the broader impacts of NMIEP on general STEM education?Broader Involvement (Faculty Development): The faculty’s broader involvement is the key toimproving undergraduate STEM education. Educational research is often neglected, downgraded,or placed at a lowered priority in some institutions. Part of the reason is the long-term outcomeof the research. How we can promote a new sustainable teaching/learning strategy to the facultyin STEM fields?Sustainability (Software and Contents): Establishment of an online teaching system is a “one-time” effort (we acknowledge that it is a time-consuming effort). However, the system must besustainable beyond the funding cycle(s). A “live” teaching system must be an upgradeable
